I feel like this is the deal. If you already have a revolving door of tons of entry level developers you hire to churn code then AI agents are no difference to your process. The thorough approval and testing process you already have from that works the same.
I got tired of the price hikes of the ad free netflix and finally canceled. Since they added the ad tiers it got too expensive for what it was worth to me and I won't pay someone to watch their ads.
Illinois has a bunch of these too. They would always sell expanding what gambling is allowed by saying that the proceeds were going to go to pay for public schools, but its hard to say if that is true or not. Even if the gambling money goes to schools seems like it just frees up other tax money for whatever else. Now here its like a town of 4000 will have over a dozen places offering electronic slot machines. It's like every gas station and bar has them now. And then you can also have stuff like draft kings and fan duel on your phone. It seems like it would be inescapable once you fell into the habit of gambling.
I dunno, looking back I don't think that soap was really the problem. I'd see people complain about how complicated soap was while not using a library for it. Then say REST was so much easier as they piped the JSON through eval to get things working.
Ahah. In my days SOAP libraries were kinda shitty up to the point I had to write my own to handle "non-standard" (actually very standard) WSDL definitions. SOAP consumption in one lang was okeish, especially Java or .NET. But interop — oh boy. The biggest issue were services exposing SOAP interface based on code-first approach, when you write some declarative code with annotations and library transforms it into WSDL and proxy endpoints.
I've always found it kinda annoying when using a SPA for a bit and wanting to go one page back and then getting taken out of the whole site. If I want to close a site I usually close the whole tab. Maybe its just wanting what you are used to and now the SPA way is the "default" for most people?
Not all protestants were trying to change the church in a new way. The Lutheran reformation was an attempt to correct drift from papal decrees from the original christian doctrine so I wouldn't say the Catholic Church is the closest to the early church. I could see how something like the Latter Day Saint movement to be something way off the original track though.
I've seen some routers that will just silently redirect anything on port 53 to their own idea of the best dns server to use. That would probably "fix" this problem, but I always thought it was a little shady to redirect stuff like that. Makes troubleshooting problems difficult if you don't know it is happening.
I mean json might not be the best example since for a long time people would run json through a javascript engine to parse it but I can see your point.
I mean I disable javascript embedded in pdf and feel like it would have been better to not have that feature. It would spare people from the invoice.pdf email attachment viruses because most people had assumed pdf isn't going to be as bad as an exe.
calling it garbage seems kinda harsh, but I think they are moving more to using a javascript rendering method instead of xul. I remember reading about it a while back. I don't really like it either and one of the first updates from back then broke a lot of UI that had been working ok. I am not really sure what the problems are with working with xul though, but I think firefox moved off it a long time ago too. I feel like thunderbird's user base is more the type to want to use thunderbird because it runs like a local first desktop style app as an alternative to using a web interface to their email. At least that's what I like about it.
> they are moving more to using a javascript rendering method instead of xul
Yeah, that's what I said: garbage.
> I am not really sure what the problems are with working with xul though
I'm sure they'll yell "for teh securitah!" in a bunch of vague fearmongering, just like they did with firefox. But the #1 and #2 problems are that it's not shiny and new and the CADT brigade[1] only knows javascript.
> I think firefox moved off it a long time ago too
I wouldn't call it "a long time ago", but I guess that depends on your perspective.
And that's the moment when firefox became garbage - just another chrome-alike, except slower and more resource-hungry. It had been getting worse for a decade prior to that, but dropping xul and breaking a ton of my extensions and customisability was the (large) straw that broke the camel's back. Sound familiar yet?
> I feel like thunderbird's user base is more the type to want to use thunderbird because it runs like a local first desktop style app as an alternative to using a web interface to their email. At least that's what I like about it.
Exactly. Which is why moving their UI to a worse, javascript-powered, uncustomisable, web-alike trash UI is a bad thing. And a big part of why everything they've done in the last ~10 years has been garbage. And why I'll almost certainly be switching to something that isn't thunderbird next time I'm forced to upgrade it.
(forgive my tone, nothing against you, I just get emotional when morons take an excellent piece of software I've been using for decades and turn it into broken, unusable trash)
